Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution

As soon as the chief examiner's voice echoed, Li Changxiao and Su Yuyue, who were in the waiting area, stood up simultaneously. They then walked to opposite sides of the Martial Arts Platform and swiftly ascended it for the competition.

"Student Su Yan, Student Shi Hua, who do you think will win this match?" asked Zheng Haixi, a burly contestant scheduled for the fourth match.

"Li Changxiao will win," Su Yan answered without hesitation.

Immediately after, An Shihua, standing beside them, also spoke in a cool tone, "Su Yuyue will win."

The burly Zheng Haixi heard this, smiled naively, and said, "Student An Shihua thinks just like I do; I also believe Su Yuyue will win." After speaking, Zheng Haixi took out his phone. "By the way, I haven't added either of you on Feixin yet. Student Shi Hua, do you want to scan my code, or should I scan yours?"

Zheng Haixi walked past Su Yan, stopping directly in front of An Shihua.

An Shihua glanced at him and then said coolly, "I don't use Feixin."

Zheng Haixi was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly yet politely. "I didn't expect Student Shi Hua to dislike using Feixin, just like me. Looks like we have something in common. In that case, let's add each other on Qiuqiu."

"I don't use Qiuqiu either. Besides, my phone's battery is dead," An Shihua stated expressionlessly, her voice devoid of emotion.

"I see... Never mind then." Zheng Haixi wasn't a fool; he knew she was rejecting him, so he sensibly didn't persist. Slightly embarrassed, he returned to his seat, playing with his phone while waiting for the two on the platform to begin their fight.

Watching Zheng Haixi walk straight past him to try and add An Shihua on Feixin, then, after being rejected, walk straight back and sit down near him, Su Yan felt somewhat speechless.

Good grief. So he said he was going to add both of us on Feixin, but he really just wanted to add An Shihua, huh? And after she shot him down, he just blows me off, the guy who was just a prop?

Thinking this, Su Yan, unwilling to be treated as an afterthought, said directly to Zheng Haixi, "Hey, Student Zheng Haixi, didn't you just say you wanted to add us on Feixin? Why not add me?"

Zheng Haixi heard this and immediately smiled awkwardly. "Oh, my bad, I forgot. Do you want to scan my code, or should I scan yours?"

"I'll scan yours," Su Yan said, taking out his phone.

Zheng Haixi did the same, bringing up his Feixin QR code.

But just then, Su Yan suddenly smiled awkwardly. "Ah, this... sorry, I forgot I don't use Feixin..." After saying that, he put his phone back in his pocket as if nothing had happened.

Zheng Haixi was utterly bewildered.

What the hell? Weren't you the one who said you wanted to scan and add me on Feixin? And then suddenly you say you don't use Feixin? What is wrong with this guy?! He's infuriating!

Zheng Haixi inwardly fumed about Su Yan, his composure close to shattering.

Just then, the two contestants on the Martial Arts Platform started fighting. They exchanged punches and kicks, moving back and forth as if they were in a turn-based game.

Soon, ten minutes had passed. The final result was Li Changxiao winning by a narrow margin, managing to end the fight just as time ran out. He had achieved a hard-earned victory.

"The winner, Li Changxiao!"

As the referee's proclamation resounded, a fresh wave of murmurs swept through the crowd. In the leadership seats, the head of Shenzhen City's Education Bureau turned pale. With Su Yuyue's defeat, Shenzhen City's performance in this year's college entrance exams had halted at the quarterfinals. For a city renowned for its strong education system, this was an immense disgrace. After the exams concluded, it was inevitable that they would be summoned for a discussion by the leaders of the provincial education department.

"Whoa, that was close. I almost got eliminated," Li Changxiao said as he stepped down from the Martial Arts Platform. He didn't rush to the logistics area for supplies but instead ran over to the waiting area to feign exhaustion and relief in front of the other three. "Luckily, Su Yuyue wasn't in top form; otherwise, I would have been eliminated in the quarterfinals for sure."

Zheng Haixi, looking slightly surprised, said, "Not bad, Student Li Changxiao! I thought that once you faced Su Yuyue, you were destined to be eliminated in the quarterfinals. You know, Su Yuyue is a prime candidate for top scorer; I've always seen him as my biggest competitor. But to my surprise, you took him out in the quarterfinals! If I win the championship today and become the top scorer, you'll get a third of the credit for that top score." Zheng Haixi patted Li Changxiao on the shoulder, his face radiating confidence. It seemed as if Su Yuyue's elimination had cleared all obstacles from his path to the championship. The road ahead was smooth, and the title of top scorer was within his grasp.

Seeing Zheng Haixi's demeanor, as if the champion title was already his, Su Yan, who was standing nearby, was left speechless.

My word. A real pig isn't as clueless as him. No, wait, a real pig is probably smarter! Li Changxiao's act of playing dumb is so obvious, yet this guy completely bought it!

Li Changxiao's act of playing dumb was so unconvincing. Always winning just as time ran out—it looked so deliberate. Yet, even so, some people actually believed him.

Time passed quickly; in the blink of an eye, the fourth match was about to begin.

"The quarterfinals, fourth match, will now begin! Contestants Zheng Haixi and An Shihua, please ascend the Martial Arts Platform!"

The chief examiner had barely finished speaking when both contenders from the waiting area promptly ascended the Martial Arts Platform.

"Student Shi Hua, I apologize in advance for any offense during the match, but I will not go easy on you," Zheng Haixi said, narrowing his eyes and offering a naive smile.

An Shihua did not respond, merely waiting quietly for the chief examiner to complete the customary pre-match speech. Her silence seemed to embarrass Zheng Haixi somewhat, and a spark of anger ignited within him. He resolved to show no mercy in the upcoming match, to unleash his full power. If the chance arose, he might even try to get a little 'hands-on' with this untouchable beauty.

At this moment, Su Yan in the waiting area, along with everyone in the audience, was keenly focused on this match. Firstly, An Shihua was the only female contestant remaining in the quarterfinals. Secondly, like Su Yan, An Shihua was a dark horse. She had instantly defeated her opponents throughout the competition, and many in the audience called her the female version of Su Yan. Thirdly, An Shihua was very attractive; she could be ranked among the top five prettiest female candidates in this year's entrance exam.

For all these reasons, as soon as An Shihua stepped onto the platform, she attracted countless gazes. Among them were numerous fervent female fans screaming frantically, their voices already hoarse and raspy.

"Student Su Yan, who do you think will win?" asked Li Changxiao, who had just returned from the logistics area, a grin on his face.

"An Shihua," Su Yan replied without a second thought.

Li Changxiao nodded. "I also think it's An Shihua. Like you, she gives off a very mysterious vibe. She was previously unheard of, yet her strength is absurdly strong. Ruthlessly defeating all the top students along the way, she became a dark horse in these exams." At this point, Li Changxiao looked into Su Yan's eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Honestly, compared to those two sisters of yours in the audience, I think Student An Shihua is even more like your sister."

In response to Li Changxiao's words, Su Yan merely smiled without speaking, his gaze fixed on An Shihua on the Martial Arts Platform. An Shihua was a Rare level Demonic Plant, deliberately disguised as a human to participate in the entrance exam. Then, throughout the competition, she had effortlessly trounced opponents who were also of the Rare level, leaving them no chance to retaliate. Su Yan was quite curious how An Shihua managed this and decided to observe her carefully this time.

"The competition begins now!"

Upon the chief examiner's command, Zheng Haixi on the Martial Arts Platform made the first move. Disregarding the fact that An Shihua was a girl, he went straight for her vital spots, showing no intention of holding back.

Facing Zheng Haixi's preemptive strike, An Shihua remained completely calm, standing still without moving an inch. Just as his fist was about to land on her, her eyes suddenly flashed with a transient gleam of light.

Then, in the next instant, the punch aimed at her vital spots suddenly swerved off course. It brushed past her without making contact, hitting only air.

"What happened? Did Student Zheng Haixi make a mistake? How could he miss with a punch?" Master Zhao Lei, the announcer on the high platform, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw this.

And just as his words ended, an utterly preposterous scene occurred!

After throwing the errant punch, Zheng Haixi didn't immediately adjust his position. Instead, he charged straight past An Shihua and began pummeling the Martial Arts Platform pillar behind her with frenzied attacks. He completely ignored the stunning An Shihua beside him, his eyes fixed solely on the thick pillar.
